5 Mounting
5.1 Mounting instructions
•Observe the technical data.
•To prevent condensation, avoid exposing the device to rapid changes in tempera‐
ture.
•The mounting site has to be designed for the weight of the device.
•Ensure a good dissipation of excess heat from the device to the surroundings, in
particular at higher ambient temperatures. Good heat transfer from the device can
be achieved, for example, by using a bracket on the mounting base or by ensuring
that the back of the device is located at a sufficient distance from the wall of an
enclosure.
5.2 Preparation for mounting
5.2.1 Installation requirements
Mounting requirements
•Typical space requirement: see "Field of view diagrams", page 21 and type-spe‐
cific dimensional drawing
•Comply with the technical data, such as the permitted ambient conditions for
operation, see "Technical data", page 52.
•Only mount the device using the threaded mounting holes provided.
•Mount the device in a shock and vibration insulated manner.
•Make sure the device has a clear view of the objects to be scanned.
Auxiliary equipment required
■Mounting system with sufficient load-bearing capacity and suitable dimensions
■4 or 2 M4 screws for mounting the device on a mounting system supplied by the
customer
■Alternatively: 2 M3 screws to mount the device on a bracket supplied by the
customer (screw length: at least 35mm)
The screw length depends on the mounting base (wall thickness of the bracket). When
using an optional SICK mounting system, the screws for mounting the device are
included with delivery.
5.2.2 Mounting systems
Mount the device to the mounting systems using at least 2 threaded mounting holes
(M4).
The threaded mounting holes are located on the right and left side of the device.
SICK offers prefabricated mounting systems that are optimally suited for mounting the
device, see "Accessories", page 56.
Customer-supplied mounting system
A customer-supplied mounting system must meet the following requirements:
•The device can be aligned in the X- and Y-axes.
•The mounting system must be able to bear the weight of the device and connect‐
ing cables without shock.
•Mounting options for the device using the threaded mounting holes must be
available.
